The story

Originally formed in 1985 from the merger and privatisation of the British Shipbuilders Research Association (BSRA) and the National Maritime Institute (NMI), it enjoyed tax-free status as a scientific research association for more than a decade.

BMT's heritage includes the water tanks where the famous Bouncing Bomb, used in the Dambusters Raid, was developed during World War II, as well as more recent advances in computer-aided design and aerodynamics.

Products and brands

BMT gained prominence in 2003 when the Secretary of State for Defence revealed the crucial design role of BMT Defence Services in the Future Aircraft Carriers programme. The company provided much of the design expertise within the Thales CVF Team, whose design was taken forward into the alliance with BAE Systems to create what is now the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier.
